Pegler Yorkshire Unrivalled quality, innovation, customer service and long-term value for money As part of the global Aalberts Industries NV Group, Pegler Yorkshire is one of Britain s largest and most respected manufacturers of innovative products for the demanding and diverse plumbing and heating industries. Pegler Yorkshire a unique story It was in the late 19th century when two separate and altruistic companies set out on the long road to satisfying the needs of prospective customers and, of course, to profit in the process. Coincidentally located just 30 miles apart, each was driven by the same vision and ideals of a no-compromise culture. Cutting corners was never an option and only the best could ever be good enough. These two companies were Pegler and Yorkshire Fittings. In meeting all the challenges of the 20th and 21st centuries both companies have changed a great deal, the business ethos common to both never has. And now these two like minds have come together as Pegler Yorkshire a single source of proven, flow control solutions for installers, specifiers and engineers in the domestic, public and commercial markets. Reputable and established brands Just as Pegler and Yorkshire have endured over such a long period, many of the brand names they have created over time are similarly very well established, in many cases as market leaders in their respective categories. The very extensive Pegler Yorkshire product range now comprises more than 15,000 lines without rival for the choice and coverage it offers and for the number and scope of applications it satisfies. A mind for innovation Brands which endure and are not easily displaced must by definition be the product of innovative thinking and technology that continually stand the test of time. Pegler Yorkshire s no-compromise philosophy will always put new product development high on the agenda, based on not only meeting the needs of today s markets, but also anticipating and meeting customers future needs. The true value of knowledge As well as the benefit of unparalleled experience of the flow control market and its growth over many decades, Pegler Yorkshire has strong associations with major industry bodies such as those responsible for determining product and performance standards. The result is a comprehensive store of knowledge and reference which is invaluable in the key areas of research, development and dealing efficiently and accurately with customer enquiries particularly with regard to product application and suitability. A charter for the best in customer service With such a diverse product range and customer base, Pegler Yorkshire s no-compromise standards of quality, reliability and value for money naturally go hand in hand with the principle of delivering the best in customer service. Green awareness and responsibilities Developing products which reduce the carbon footprint by saving water and energy is only one side of the green issues coin. Pegler Yorkshire is also increasingly committed to recycling key production materials (such as brass), eliminating the need for excessive packaging wherever possible, and looking for new ways in which the company s day-to-day operations can be improved to reduce waste and minimise the impact on the environment. Likewise, social responsibilities such as supporting employee and local community welfare are aspects of the very fabric and philosophy upon which both Pegler and Yorkshire were founded. Standards Pegler Yorkshire is dedicated to designing, developing and manufacturing products of the highest quality. We are members of numerous standards committees and take an active part in their development. Our products, where applicable, comply with the relevant British, European and International standards. Whatever the latest developments, we guarantee that our products will always meet the latest and highest standards.

Solar pump stations Introduction Energy-saving solutions for new and existing domestic hot water systems Throughout Europe the Meibes brand is recognised as a solutions provider of Pump Groups for renewable products in both domestic and commercial applications. Whether a solution is required for individual properties, multi-level buildings, Meibes from Pegler Yorkshire can provide the answer. In the United Kingdom the move towards renewable technologies continues to gather pace, fuelled partly by government targets and legislation like the Building Regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes, and increasing consumer awareness of the need to invest in green technology. Rising prices have also focussed attention on the need to reduce fuel bills by looking at renewable technologies such as solar thermal hot water. At Pegler Yorkshire we are committed to providing professional installers with the products, technical expertise and knowledge which will enable them to meet their customer s requirements and provide new business development opportunities using the technologies of the future. Why choose Meibes? The pump station is the heart of the solar thermal system and when you specify Meibes you can rest assured in the knowledge that you ve chosen a product that has been proven throughout Europe where solar technology has been widely used for homes and commercial properties of all sizes and descriptions. The pump station is used for the primary circuit of a solar thermal heating system and controls the temperature of stored hot water. The pump within the unit is activated by a signal from the collector or cylinder to the controller which monitors the differential temperatures. Meibes pump stations are supplied as prefabricated units that transfer heat from the solar collector to a twin coil cylinder. Each pump station contains all the necessary components i.e. valves, fittings and safety devices etc. that are required to ensure the optimum performance of the solar thermal system. Meibes solar pumps are simple and quick to install, offer significant savings on installation time and are easy to maintain. Meibes offers a comprehensive range of pump stations which are designed to offer the installer maximum flexibility and the widest choice for any application. The Meibes range also includes pipe options, connections, fittings, controls and a wide range of accessories. Pump stations are compatible with all types of solar cylinder and solar thermal collectors. Whether competitive pricing, the system application, or a combination of both is key, Meibes from Pegler Yorkshire can provide the answer. 4 1 Range overview 2 Product details 3 Technical data 4 Solar commercial range 5 XPress Solar range

3 Wall mounting When mounting the device on a wall, proceed as follows: Drill the fixing holes using the drilling template (bottom). Screw in the two top screws leaving a gap of up to 6mm. Open the device as described and hang it on the two screws. You can now fit the two bottom screws. Solar Glycol Properties To avoid damage to the lower part of the casing, do not over tighten any of the screws. Product A ready-to-use heat transfer fluid for solar heating systems. Based on a blend of propylene glycol, high temperature (resistant) inhibitors and distilled water Appearance Clear to straw in colour Density 1.02-1.03 Refractive Index 1.374 PH 8.5-9.5 Water content 58-60% Boiling points 103 C at atmospheric pressure, rising to 142 C to 3.5bar Frost protection -20 C first ice crystals form, -28 C total solidification/freezing Solar Glycol is slightly viscous, virtually odourless liquid, based on propylene glycol and has a very low order of oral toxicity. It is readily biodegradable (92% over 30 days) and thus will not remain in the environment. Solar Glycol has been specifically formulated for use in solar heating systems operating up to 200 C. Solar Glycol contains high temperature (resistant) corrosion and scale inhibitors to protect all metals commonly found in modern solar heating systems, thus ensuring a long operating life and high thermal efficiency. Solar Glycol does not normally attack the seals within a solar heating system. Application Solar Glycol is supplied ready-to-use and therefore does not require on-site dilution. To maintain system integrity only top-up with Solar Glycol and do not mix with other heat transfer fluids. Propylene glycol can sustain temperatures up to 170 C for prolonged periods and below 200 C for short periods. Sustained temperatures above 170 C will lead to premature degradation of the propylene glycol and temperatures above 200 C will lead to irreversible and rapid degradation. Corrosion protection The inhibitors within Solar Glycol provide corrosion protection to BS6580 and ASTM D1384 standards. Health & safety Solar Gylcol is non-toxic and not subject to hazardous labelling, however all guidelines as detailed in the Material Safety data sheet should be strictly observed. Solar Glycol is not a potential water pollutant and is readily biodegradable in the environment. Shelf Life and availability Solar Glycol has a shelf life of at least 1 year in airtight containers stored in a cool shaded environment.
